Pentax philosophy has always been to cater for high quality but also high volume markets. All the successful cameras from the Spotmatic onwards have fulfilled this. So I think it depends upon what is meant by "too small" and it could be (although I'm not saying that it is) that the undeniably smaller volumes involved are not where Pentax wants to be.

They are relatively small compared to the Big Two and probably not everything can be done at once, which will mean prioritising.

It will depend on the results, which of course we haven't seen. However, there's nothing complicated about product shots unless you want the tricky stuff. My ebay shots are all done with daylight, sometimes very little of it, in a simple fold out portable studio bought from Aldi for £12.00.

If it does the job why make it complicated?

You climb the rankings the more posts you make, and I think the top Pentax Pro Master might be hit around 250 posts.

A definite advance on getting to 30 posts and then no further!

Of course, there are a few with post counts of 1000 or more...I think we ran out of superlatives for them!

I photograph all sorts of things for eBay and almost always use the 18-55mm which covers virtually everything.

Well we asked for it, so wasn't it a nice surprise?

I'll rephrase it to I've never had any problems whatsoever!

A word of caution here. Just like some lenses are more apochromatic than others, even if labelled Apo, then some zooms are more true zooms than others.

In other words, many "zooms" do in fact wander slightly in their focus when they are zoomed. It's not a perfect world.

Brrr, you don't think minus 15 is cold? That could be the problem - nothing else in particular springs to mind.

I agree with you and I've made a suggestion, so we'll see if it's taken up.

Incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial - sorry, that's Perry Mason Speak!

What I did was mix my sentence a little I admit, but I think we probably have the gist of the meaning...
